Abstract
This case report highlights the rare occurrence of a twin pregnancy coexisting with a partial mole, presenting a unique set of challenges in management and outcome. A 20-year-old woman with primary subfertility conceived twins following ovulation induction, experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum and subsequently developing severe preeclampsia. Despite efforts to control her condition, termination of the pregnancy was necessary due to maternal safety concerns. Both twins, without anomalies, succumbed to early neonatal death. Histopathological examination revealed a partial mole. The case emphasizes the importance of vigilant monitoring and individualized treatment in such complex pregnancies, with a focus on maternal well-being. Continued follow-up is crucial to detect and manage potential gestational trophoblastic disease. This report underscores the need for informed decision-making and patient-centered care in managing twin pregnancies coexisting with molar tissue.
Key words: Partial Mole, Fetus, Twin Pregnancy.
